Switches and Blessings

My Grandfather - Ken Richardson - raised me from the time I was one until I was six. In August of 1970 I went to live with my Mom, newly remarried. None of us suspected that she was married to a child abuser who, on October 31 of that year, at about 7:30 pm, [...]

I learned a new word, editing the text of Worship At St Gregory’s last night. In an earlier edition, the following text:
Our Choir Director joins the other ministers in the vestry, where all together recite George Herbert’s poem “Aaron,” etched on the vestry mirror as a sacristy prayer. The vested party then exchange the [...]

Evergreen

Posted in Buffalo, personal on 9 June 2008 - 7 סיון 5768

My little corner of the Biosphere is chock-a-block with all kinds of throw-away greenery. It seems there are tomatoes growing rather like weeds in several corners of the front area. The side yard has been rather nicely gardened by the landlady’s son. But the back yard - which isn’t mine, really, just what’s [...]

One of those days…

Posted in personal on 5 June 2008 - 3 סיון 5768

Yesterday was one of those days that went really well - put was punctuated by two hits right in the solar plexus…
You may know my “missing friends” page. Midday I received an email reporting that one of them, Joe, has been dead for nearly 10 years. The events surrounding his death were sad [...]

I’ve got readers all over the world so I’m hoping for a little LA [...]

Morning Prayer Sources

Posted in administrivia, liturgy, personal on 13 May 2008 - 9 אייר 5768

I continue to work on my online prayer book, using various sources. It’s rather wonderful to access this via my iPod and to use that as a prayerbook - no matter where I am. Yes, I’ve crossed the streams: I’m a Liturgical Hunter/Gatherer, a Palaeolithic Liturgy Geek. I weave a healthy dose of the [...]

Moved in.

Posted in Buffalo, personal on 3 May 2008 - 29 ניסן 5768

I’m all moved into my new place at the Boarding House. For those readers with long memories: yes, it’s like when I first moved to Asheville and, after a short stay in the smallest room of the house, I moved into the largest. My room in this boarding house is about the same [...]
